Benjamin Church House
About the Business
The Benjamin Church House, also known as Kilbourntown House, is a historic museum and tourist attraction located in Shorewood, Wisconsin, United States. Built in 1844 by Benjamin Church, a carpenter from New York, the house is a fine example of Greek Revival architecture. Saved from destruction in 1938, the house was moved to Estabrook Park and restored as a WPA project. It now houses an impressive collection of mid-nineteenth century furniture and decorative arts, as well as a kitchen herb garden. Maintained by the Milwaukee County Historical Society, the Milwaukee County Parks, and the Colonial Dames, Kilbourntown House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Visitors can explore this historic gem at Estabrook Park on Estabrook Drive, just north of Capitol Drive. For group tour information, please call (414) 273-8288. Thank you for supporting our mission to preserve and share Milwaukee County’s history.

"We recently shot a country music video there. The place stands out as an older type architecture"
"Very cool to see a building that has been moved from its originally home to a new place instead of being destroyed."
"Free admission (donations welcome). Open Sundays noon-4 June through September. Offers the oppurtunity to explore one of the oldest surviving homes in Milwaukee"
